Company history RO-CLEAN DESMI started life in 1977 when both De Smithske (DESMI) and ROULUNDS FABRIKER (ROULUNDS) started developing equipment for oil spill response. DESMI concentrated on pumps and skimmers, whilst ROULUNDS concentrated on containment booms. In 1986, ROULUNDS acquired the English company OMI and in 1992 RO-CLEAN INTERNATIONAL was established. As the two companies (DESMI and ROULUNDS) were the only Danish companies in this business, it became obvious to merge the two divisions as the product range were complementary.

In 1996 RO-CLEAN DESMI A/S was established, creating todays company. Since 1996, RO-CLEAN DESMI has grown rapidly and established branches and an agents network worldwide to provide a service to our customers which is second to none.

In 2005, DESMI took over ROULUNDS shares, and today RO-CLEAN DESMI is 100% owned by the DESMI group.

In 2008, RO-CLEAN DESMI merged with the American company APPLIED FABRIC TECHNOLOGIES Inc (AFTI), which has enabled RO-CLEAN DESMI to provide a greater range of products, and a strong US base.

Training and commissioning Combating oil spills is a specialized area, as well as a task which require instant response. Having this in mind, RO-CLEAN DESMI offers extensive training when supplying equipment. Further to this, our staff are able to provide consultation and technical input during the planning stage. Having the right type of equipment for the right job is an important key to success.

The comprehensive training in the use of the equipment will include suggestions on storage, maintenance and advice on installing the equipment in optimum positions when used.

With the right type of equipment kept in optimum condition, and a trained, skillful staff to operate it, the success rate will be much higher when the equipment is used for real. RO-CLEAN DESMI can also offer a maintenanceorservice.

Oil containment booms RO-CLEAN DESMI produces five major brands of oil containment boom - RO-BOOM, RO-BOOM BEACH, RO-FENCE, A-BOOM and TROILBOOM.

RO-BOOM RO-BOOM is internationally acknowledged as one of the most effective, reliable and durable oil containment booms available today. RO-BOOM has earned this reputation in many spills and deployments. Manufactured in a unique rubber moulding process RO-BOOM is an inflatable boom with high tensile strength and excellent seakeeping abilities. When deflated it lies flat allowing for storage on reels with minimal volume.

More than 600,000m have been supplied to oil companies, ports, terminals and oil spill bases.

RO-BOOM is available in section lengths of up to 300m and nine sizes from 0.6 to 3.2m overall. It

4

can be delivered with stainless steel hinge or ASTM connectors. Advances in the inflation process have lead to deployment times of less than 10 minutes for 200m with a trained crew.

RO-BOOM BEACH Containing oil in changing water levels presents a problem to conventional skirted booms. The RO-BOOM BEACH is a specialised boom with twin water ballast tubes and a single air tube. As the water level recedes the RO-BOOM BEACH sits down into the sand and mud effectively sealing the area.

When the level comes up the boom will re-float and act as a conventional boom. The RO-BOOM BEACH is produced in the exceptional RO-BOOM fabric offering high abrasion resistance, which is key to this application.

5 RO-BOOM SPI RO-BOOM Single Point Inflation oil containment boom is specially developed for fast deployment by means of single point inflation from the tow boat end.

This allows deployment by a much smaller crew reducing operating costs and increasing efficiency.

RO-FENCE RO-FENCE is a robust fence boom designed for installation and long-term deployment in ports, rivers, ponds and lakes, water intakes and terminals where a zero response time is required. It is manufactured from the finest materials offering high abrasion and resistance to oil and sunlight. The floats are moulded in UV stabilised HD polyethylene, and are then bolted to a twin layer of RO-BOOM fabric and ballasted using either lead weight or chain beneath the floats. For convenience and longevity, the floats can also be filled with foam if required. This extreme durability and simplicity in design leads to a low maintenance requirement and good suitability for long-term deployment in harsh conditions.

6

A-BOOM RO-CLEAN DESMI has developed a new, very environmentally friendly Fence Boom which will suit most protection purposes with regard to Oil Spill Response in a large number of protected water areas. The boom is known as “A-BOOM�

As a solid float fence type of boom it is immediately ready for deployment in the event of an oil spill in a harbour, jetty, lake or other protected water area.

Due to the minimal weight of the 15m sections of boom (22kg), it can easily be deployed by a small crew and for convenience can be disposed of by burning after use.

TROILBOOM TROILBOOM is a lightweight, rapidly deployable boom with foam floatation manufactured in PVC or Urethane fabric. TROILBOOM is ideal for coastal and port operations where a rapid response to any pollution threat is required. It can simply be pulled very rapidly into the water, either from a container, storage racks, or a boom reel if required. The average deployment time is 3 to 5 minutes for 200m, and there is no need for any ancillary equipment such as air blowers when deploying the boom. Due to the highly flexible construction, TROILBOOM has very high wave following characteristics, and is therefore able to ride out and provide a useable barrier in much stronger weather conditions than many of its competitors. TROILBOOM is available in five different sizes from 0.45 to 1.1m overall to suit most applications and 3 different versions depending on the customer requirements.

TROILBOOM is also available with a wide range of ancillary equipment including various storage reels and racks, tidal compensators, towing and anchoring sets etc. Many thousands of metres of TROILBOOM have been supplied since it was introduced over 25

7

years ago.

BOOM WINDERS RO-CLEAN DESMI manufacture a wide range of winders for our booms, enabling them to be used in various situations. We are able to produce them in a variety of sizes, to hold different capacities of boom, and as containerised winders if necessary to meet customer requirements. We are also able to produce them with either hand, electric or hydraulic operation, and with ISO corners if required to make storage easier.

Oil skimming MINI-MAX The MINI-MAX skimmer head can be connected to any self-priming suction pump – preferably with a variable speed and a 2 or 3in suction connection.

Capacity and viscosity handling of the skimmer head is determined by the suction pump or vacuum system attached to the skimmer. Vacuum systems are ideal as they can pull a deep suction. It is ideal for small industrial separators, tanks and waters. This skimmer can be coupled directly to a vacuum truck or other suction pumps such as diaphragm pumps.

In this mode it may be considered for use in hazardous areas. The MINI-MAX is ideal for skimming a wide range of products – as long as it floats and flows the MINI-MAX will be able to recover it! We typically package the MINI-MAX with a diesel driven 3in diaphragm pump in a convenient aluminium or PE storage and shipping box. We can also provide various other pumps as options for the MINI-MAX as

8

per customer requirements.

TERRAPIN At the heart of the TERRAPIN is the self-adjusting weir that automatically sets the depth of the weir according to the pumping rate. Pump faster and the weir will sink lower and take a deeper cut, and vice versa. The TERRAPIN has been designed with industrial applications in mind. The unit may be used free floating with a 1¼in suction hose connected to the underside. Alternatively a suction hose, connected to the top of the skimmer, can suspend the TERRAPIN. The diameter of the TERRAPIN is only 410mm / 16in, which permits access into tight and possibly hazardous areas.

The TERRAPIN is constructed in marine grade stainless steel, moulded polyethylene and polyurethane – making it resistant to oils and many environments found in industrial applications.

RO-WEIR The RO-WEIR is a lightweight aluminium floating suction head which can be connected to any suitable suction device. It is highly flexible and can be used in many situations, from open lagoons to oil sumps. It consists of an angled hand tool for manual guidance of the suction head, a 1m straight pipe with 2 polyethylene hose floats, and a 0.3m suction pipe for use in minimal space. It is an extremely low cost but powerful skimmer system which requires a minimum amount of storage space.

9 TERMITE The TERMITE is one of our most popular skimmers.

This skimmer is based on the proven TERMINATOR design but it incorporates the smaller DOP-160 pump, which enables it to have an extremely shallow draft. The TERMITE system provides a lightweight package that can skim and transfer many types of oil and can operate effectively in open, harbour and inland water conditions. The TERMITE utilizes the same large free-floating weir lip as the TERMINATOR skimmer, which has been in production for years. This flexible, high buoyancy weir system allows nearly 6in of vertical travel for excellent wave following, even in choppy seas. The weir height automatically adjusts to match the discharge rate of the pump, making the skimmer easy to operate and ensuring high recovery efficiency at all flow rates. OHMSETT testing proved that this weir could achieve average recovery efficiencies greater than 80% in wave conditions.

TERMINATOR The TERMINATOR is one of our most popular weir skimmers, and incorporates the powerful DOP-250 DUAL pump which contains three cutting knives to slice through any trash or debris the skimmer may encounter. All components are manufactured in marine grade aluminium, stainless steel, or polypropylene. Various options are available for this skimmer including wireless remote control, thrusters, plus the possibility of adding disc or brush modules for ultimate versatility.

The configuration of the pump also allows for uninterrupted access to the weir, and maximum recovery capability. Due to the clever vertical screw design the pump is able to handle a mixture of extremely viscous fluids and water without loss of discharge pressure or emulsification of the oil and water.

The advantages of the TERMINATOR include the fact that it is suitable for light or heavy oils, it has a very high discharge pressure, has a self

10

adjusting weir, and the option to have thrusters for remote positioning of the skimmer into nearly any location. The skimmer also benefits from low weight in comparison to its size, and due to the fact that it is manufactured from tough components, there is an extremely low amount of maintenance needed.

BELT SKIMMERS BELT skimmers are excellent at recovering highly viscous oils – again with a low water content.

Supplied as standard with a DOP-250 DUAL, this powerful skimmer is able to operate in either direction (depending on the oil type) to quickly remove oil from the waters surface. It can be offered as an independent skimmer, or as an adaptor for the TERMINATOR skimmer. It can also be offered with options such as remote control and thrusters if required.

12 ALLIGATOR SKIMMERS ALLIGATOR Belt Brush Skimmers incorporate the advantages of the belt mechanism with a stiff brush that enhances the pickup.

Bi-directional belt - the belt can operate in either direction. In underflow mode (with the belt going down into the oil) the skimmer can achieve a high recovery rate with lighter oils. In overflow mode (belt coming up out of the oil) the ALLIGATOR is able to recover thick layers of heavy oils with very little water - as low as 2%!

MOP SKIMMERS Rope mop systems have been used extensively in industry due to their ability to recover oil from shallow or trash-laden water over a large area. The SEAMOP and RO-MOP are highly efficient mop skimmers that are ideal for choppy or open waters where high collection efficiency is required.

The continuous mop loops are circulated across the water surface and through the hanging wringer unit.

The oil on the water sticks to the oleophilic mop surface and is removed within both the RO-MOP and SEA-MOP.

13 HELIX SKIMMERS The HELIX Circular Brush System presents a significant advancement in skimmer technology. This circular brush skimmer is the result of several years of research and development.

The oil is able to flow freely onto the brushes from any angle which is especially important for heavy and thick oils. This gives significant operational advancement over square or rectangular units.

The HELIX is delivered as a complete skimmer with the DOP-250 DUAL, DOP-200 DUAL, DOP-160 or LOOP 80 pump. The HELIX can also be supplied as an adaptor for mounting on existing skimmers such as the TERMITE and TERMINATOR.

Pumps DOP PUMPS DOP-250 DUAL, DOP-200 DUAL & DOP-160.

Available in skimming or offloading versions the 3 sizes of pumps have the ability to pump a wide range of oils, or oil and water mixtures, with a discharge pressure up to 10 bar/147 psi. The hydraulically driven stainless steel screw rotates inside a lightweight aluminium housing. All DOP pumps contain cutting knives to prevent any debris being trapped in the pump and these, combined with a pressure lubricated screw bearing, greatly increase the reliability of the pump. RO-CLEAN DESMI manufactures an extensive range of pumps including centrifugal, internal gear and vertical screw. The screw pump was introduced over 20 years ago and has subsequently been developed and improved to become the most widely used viscous oil pump in the oil spill response industry today. Over

14

1,500 submersible screw DOP pumps have been supplied to more than 100 countries around the world.

INJECTION FLANGE AND CAMLOCK RO-CLEAN DESMI conducted extensive bitumen pumping tests in house. All the testing showed that a relatively small amount (6%) of water injected into the pump discharge line with an injection flange or camlock forms a thin layer surrounding the column of oil that is travelling through the hose. A system comprising of an injection flange and high-pressure water pump was developed and tested over a two year period. The resulting system means that heavy oils can be pumped further and higher.

LOOP 80 The LOOP 80 Pump (Light Oil Off-loading Pump) is developed as a skimmer off-loading pump to applications where light oil is the medium. The LOOP pump is a single-stage centrifugal pump equipped with a semi-open impeller, which does not choke as easily as closed types. The casing is made of seawater resistant aluminium, the impeller and wear plate of bronze, and the shaft of stainless steel. Sealed bearing housing with sealed lifetime lubricated bearings complete the arrangement. The pump is designed to fit beneath the hopper of the skimmer head. Accordingly, the pump does not take up more space (depth) than the discharge nozzle, and as such offers a very low overall draught to the skimmer when fitted. It is therefore ideal for smaller skimmers where space is at a premium.

15

SPATE PD 75 The SPATE PD 75 pump is ideal for operation in oil spills, de-watering, construction, industry, tank cleaning and other general pumping duties.

The double diaphragm design creates a powerful suction and lift ability. These same diaphragms have a gentle pumping action that does not emulsify oil and water. This allows rapid gravity separation following pumping. The speed and output of the hydraulically driven model is infinitely variable. It can be supplied with a hydraulic power unit. Both models are delivered fitted with oil resistant regulators. Simplicity of design and construction provided for total ease of maintenance. This extremely rugged pump has been used worldwide for various oil recovery applications.

OILFENCETM OILFENCETM has been in production for over 30 years, and many of the original booms are still in service. This unique design is extremely stable and tough due to the combination of extrawide outrigger floats and high-tensile strength barrier fabric. Another advantage is the lack of maintenance and time-consuming cleaning required when this system is in-situ for long periods of time.

GLOBEBOOM® ®

The GLOBEBOOM

design has proven to be

excellent for all sorts of harbour settings.

The principal reason for this success is the quasi-spherical (or “globe”) shaped floatation elements. This shape presents the most efficient volume-to-surface-area ratio and allows “nodes” of buoyancy to be placed at intervals. GLOBEBOOM® is available in various types and sizes and with accessories to meet customer requirements.

PYROBOOM® PYROBOOM® is a combination of specially selected materials applied to the GLOBEBOOM® design to provide a fireproof boom which has proven to be one of the best performers during independent tests. PYROBOOM® can be used in water without deleterious effects. Once burned, almost 50% of the original value of the PYROBOOM® can be recovered and re-used in the field. It requires no special handling, launching or support equipment and can be used just like a conventional boom.
